But does any of this: "A black cab has a minimum of 4 years knowledge training has a choice of two types of cab, each costing circa £50K, has 2 mot's a year, significant insurance costs- is subject to checks throughout there year- paperwork etc." ...make any difference to the customer who just want to go from A to B? Not really - the cost of the car is irrelevant to me as a customer - as it happens I find a Toyota Prius more comfortable than a black cab but that is up to each individual. The 4 years training might make a minute difference if I am going to an obscure place or during a busy traffic period but generally the sat nav is good enough. Modern vehicles do not need 2 MOTs a year so that is not a benefit to me. TfL licence all the minicabs I travel in so I assume they are insured in the same way I assume a black cab is insured there is no guarantee. My experience is black cabs are very expensive but I can believe there are scenarios when they are no more expensive than their competition but I am not going to attempt to work out when this is. So you see from this customer's perspective the extra overheads of the black cab give me no benefit.
